On May 13, 2015, CEL-SCI Corporation (“CEL SCI” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) has authorized the Company to commence patient enrollment for its ongoing Phase 3 trial of its investigational immunotherapy Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) in patients with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity/soft palate, a type of head and neck cancer. Italy is the 23rd country to authorize CEL-SCI’s Phase 3 trial for patient enrollment.
 
Having surpassed its originally planned milestone of receiving authorization to conduct the Phase 3 study from 21 countries, CEL-SCI is now aiming to expand the trial into a total of approximately 100 clinical centers in about 25 countries. As of April 30, 2015, 437 patients had been enrolled in the global Phase 3 study.
 
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
